Like most of its relatives, this tomato is grown primarily from seedlings. For this, tomato seeds disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate are planted in containers, left in a warm place and wait for shoots. When 1-2 true leaves appear on the seedlings, they dive into separate pots, and wait for the seedlings to grow and get stronger, periodically moistening the soil and loosening it. Periodically, it is necessary to harden the seedlings by taking them out into the street, gradually increasing the time spent outdoors and bringing it to a whole day.

If you want to wait for the harvest earlier, you can plant the seedlings at the very beginning of May, but you should definitely cover the seedlings with film or agrofibre at first until the night frosts have passed. Seedlings are planted without shelter at the end of May.

Further care for tomatoes consists in timely, but not too frequent watering, fertilization, loosening, and removal of weeds.
